Correct. Unfortunately, quite a few decide to ask the same question. >c) there are not such a thing as "trivial" an "important " issues here.

If a problem can be solved with little effort, eg. reading a manual or consulting the appropriate website, I choose to categorize it as trivial. Furthermore, if you're capable of connecting to the internet and thereby using/installing software, I dare presume that less complicated computer problems are easily solvable. Hence trivial. >d) In fact, almost could be said that these posts about "trivial" issues related >to this or that program has more sense and utility than technicalities that only >matter to a handful of programmers. This is not a programmer site in exclusive. I find a decent mix to be most interesting. Therefore it is unfortunate if trivial off topic questions reduce the longevity of interesting (or not so interesting) topical messages on the front page. The other problem, which may or may not be important, is the question of piracy. I suspect that quite a few have used this place to figure out how to use pirated software. Another reason why triviality is important. >f) but even if questions to john have not the right to be in such important site >as this is, elbow to elbow with highly esential issues for the humanity as >discussions about prunning or extensions, even so what is the point to become >worried about that and make a lot of people fee they are sinning?
